How do you sit through an airplane flight without excruciating pain? (self.asklemmy)

After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

as others have mentioned, outside of an actual medical condition, best you can hope for is mitigation
compression socks, neck pillow, eye mask, noise cancelling headphones
stay hydrated – one of the big drivers behind jet lag is plain old dehydration
aisle seat – you can get up, walk around a bit, hit up the bathroom, all without having to climb over your neighbors every single time

i rarely sleep when traveling. I'll consider a neck pillow next time. i'm pretty good about jet lag, and yeah i've been picking aisle seats every time i fly.
